The Triumph of David
by PESELLINO, Tempera on wood, 43 x 177 cm
The panel shows David’s triumphal procession from Gath to Jerusalem. David holds the head of Goliath, the giant whom he has just slain. This painting probably formed part of a cassone or another piece of furniture, like its companion ‘The Story of David and Goliath’, also in the National Gallery.
